Gaia Thalassitis Santorini 2022 (1.5L)

A Santorini wine whose name comes from 'thalassa', Greek for sea. The winery lies on the coast, and the wine is salty and mineral, reflecting both the Assyrtiko grape and Santorini's volcanic soil. The vines are more than 80 years old and are trained in basket shapes, protecting the grapes from strong sun and salty sea wind. The nose is delicate, with mineral tones and aromas of citrus fruit, honeysuckle and stone fruit. On the palate it is bone dry and powerful, with fresh acidity and good balance. It suits Mediterranean salads, seafood dishes, oysters, pasta with shellfish and selected cheeses.
